mysql -e "GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON transmission_links.* TO 'transmission'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '';"That aside, a quick google turned up that it is to do with the user table and privileges bit, which means the following lines may give issues:

Only trouble is, I've no idea which one!! You could try running each of these lines as root in a terminal to see which ones fails?!

Have you got your Core set to static:192.168.80.1? Just thinking aloud, if this is a test box, and I've unfortunately hard-coded in 192.168.80.*, then there's an opportunity to improve the script by grabbing the internal address from the machine and inserting that instead of assuming no-one will change it?! Not sure this would cause a fail in the user grants however?!!

Sounds like you've done the work to include the transmission pages into the LinuxMCE, if only my "Add Software" section worked, I could add the "official" version in!! (my "Add Software" is completely empty, so haven't been able to add anything from there since I built the damn thing!!)

I still need to test installing, but the initial commits are made. Thank you so much for doing the initial leg work!

You're welcome, but it was as much for myself as anyone else!!! Save's me a lot of bother when upgrading to 12.04 when it's stable!!! Just need to convince you LinuxMCE Gods of other tweaks I've made now to save me doing anything at all after the upgrade!!!!

So I've fixed a bunch of errors in the postinst script and fixed the predepends (transmission-daemon instead of transmission, my bad). Things will likely work after the repo is updated. The proper installation method is to choose Core from the Wizard in webadmin, select transmission and press Save. This will ensure the appropriate webadmin pages are activated along with the package installation.

I've had a couple of updates now on the Web admin, and each one wipes out all of my transmission work?! Should this not be part of the install now, or, have I missed the point?!!! I was expecting at some point the transmission stuff to stop disappearing, or, is this only available in the Alpha / Beta testing of the new release?

Sorry mate, don't want to bug you about it too much, I know you're busy on more than just this "Nice to have"!!

Ahr!! OK, cheers Mike, Thanks for the info. I'll keep doing the manual re-set thing until I feel brave enough to update to 12.04 then!! That probably also explains why others were having problems, and J had to fix it, if I'd written and tested the initial package install on 10.04, and it's rolling out on 12.04!!

Something like this has been on my list of items to try to tackle for a while. Like to have something the continually scrubs whatever folders you specify looking for particular media. Originally this came from someone wanting to setup a photo-booth that automatically added pictures to the screensaver as they were taken. Seems like a similar approach could be used?!? Is there a better/preferred method?
